One of Wooden's emphasis was details, no detail was insignificant.

One of Wooden's main lessons was to become a better leader you must learn continuously from others. There are many take aways in this section of the book but some of the most important are:
-Keep asking questions: "When you start having all the right answers, you will stop asking all the right questions." Never make the mistake of deciding you know enough and can afford to stop learning.
-Control emotion or it will control you:  Others will lose respect for you if you get too emotional. Don’t let the highs get too high or the lows too low. Strive for moderation and balance. Instill a sense of emotional discipline in those you lead.
-Before you can lead others, you need to lead yourself: First, define success as total commitment to winning as a team. Second, demonstrate your commitment to success through what you do.
-Identify and remove excuses for not getting to the next level: Often the obstacles to success are mental. Remove them to get closer to your goals.
